Shamrocks for Charity 2023.
Over 27K in 5 YEARS!
Since 2018 the Shamrocks for Charity project has collected more than $27.000!
Local establishments sell and display handcrafted postcard signed shamrocks for $5. Year after year our Shamrocks have been recycled and reused.
In 2022 we expanded and sold customized commemorative buttons and suspenders to help raise over $7000. In fact, we are very proud to say every penny collected for the Shamrock’s sale leading up to the Parade has raised more money year after year!
We hope to continue that tradition in 2023 and are happy to involve more businesses to help us.
If you have any questions or suggestions – we want to hear them!
